Explanation

Data Loss Prevention (DLP) tools are specifically designed to protect personal data by actively monitoring, detecting, and blocking unauthorized access, transfer, or use of sensitive information across data-in-use, data-in-motion, and data-at-rest states. DLP enforces policies that prevent data leakage or exposure. The other options do not actively protect data: data discovery and mapping tools (B) only locate and catalog data; log file monitoring tools (C) are detective controls that record activity after the fact; and data profiling tools (D) analyze data structure and quality but provide no protective function.
